NUFORC Sighting 54980

Occurred: 2007-01-25 04:45 Local
Reported: 2007-01-27 10:32 Pacific
Duration: 1 sec
No of observers: 2

Location: Grass Valley, CA, USA

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object

Flash of light in Northern Sky near big dipper on Thursday 1/25/07 seen by two people.

Just under the big-dipper a large flash of light appeared.

The light didn't move across the sky, nor did it move an any direction. It was like a STAR expanded 1000 times the size and then went away.

I waited around for a sound or boom, but to no avail.

Three days later I am still thinking about this because stars do not expand like this. Almost like a flashlight from the sky clicked on, then off suddenly. The brightness was two times that of a star, but not blinding and 1000 times the size.




NUFORC Note:

Possible flare, caused by an Iridium satellite. PD
